0 could there in the world be found,
Some little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might go round
Without the village tattling,
How doubly blest that spot would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery
Of gossip's enlless prlttling
Every community is cursed With
he presence of II class of people WhJ

eyerybody's business but their own.
such people are the meanest speci-
mems of depraved humanity, which an
all wise providence permits to exist
on this sin cursed earth. 1t is well
known that almost every person is
some times disposed to speak evil Of
others, and tatting is n sin from
which very few claim to be entirely
exempt. But my object at present is
to speak of the tattlers who make
tale bearing the constant business Of
their lives. They pry into the phi
vate affairs of every family in the
neighborhood. They know the exact
state of one neighbors feelings
toward another. They understand
everybody's faults, and no little blum
der or misdemeanor ever escapes their
vigilant watchfulness. They are par
ticularly well posted upon everything
connected with courtship and matri-
mony, know who are going to marry
and can guess the exact time when it
will take place. My contempt for
such graceless creatures know no
bounds and | can find no words in
which to express its infamy. What
punishment they deserve we cannot
know. But God knows and as sure
as his eternal justice reigns they will
receive retribution, proportional to
the magnitude of their offences
against the laws of God and the in
terest of humanity.-Ex.

NATIVE HOUSES OF ALASKA.
Homes of the People in ths Tcrr,tory Our
Government Bought from Russia.


Tho houses OF the natives arc much
the same In all divisions OF Alaska. Tho
dwellings are thus described;
A circular mound of earth, grass grow
ing and Uttered with all sorts ~ house
hold utensils, small spiral coil OF
smoke rising from tho apex, dogs
crouchlng, children climbing up or
rolling down, stray morsels of food left
from one meal TO the other. and n
soft mixture of mud and ofial surround
ing 1t all,
The entrance to this house Is low,
irregular square aperture, through which
tho inmate stoops, and passes down a
foot or two through short low pas
sage on to the earthen floor within.
Tho interior generally consists OF an
irrcgularly-shaped square circle, twelve
or fifteen feet in diameter, receiving
its only light from without through
tho small smoke-opening at the apex
of tho roo, W aich rises, tent-like, from
the floor The fireplace is directly
under this opening.
Rude beds or couches OF skin and
grass mats are laid, slightly raised
above the floor, upon clumsy frames
made of sticks and saplings or rough
hewn planks, and sometimes on little
elevations built up Of peat or sod.
Sometimes small hallway with bulg-
ing sides is erected over the entrance,
where, by this expansion, room is af-
forded for the keeping Of utensils
and water vessels and as shelter for
dogs.
Immediately adjoining most Of these
houses will be found a small summer
kitchen, a rude wooden frame, walled
in and covered with sods, with an
opening at the top to give vent to the
smoke.
These are entirely above ground,
rarely over five or six feet ia diameter,
and are Uttered with filth and pfIal
of all kinds; serving also as a refuge
for the dogs from the Indictment
weather.
In the interior regions, where both
fuel and building material are moro
abundant, the houses change some
what in appearance and construction 4;
the excavation of tho coast houses,
made for the purpose of saving both,
disappears, and gives way to log
structures above the ground, but still
covered with sods.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT.
STATION.

a LIST OF EXPERIMENTS TO BE CON
QUOTED THE COMING SEASON,
As is well known, the State Agri-
cultural Experiment Station has no
farm of its own, and hence it must re-
" on the farmers of the state for the
land on which to conduct the series of
experiments that are to be carried out
this summer. 1t is desirable that
these experiments be tried in each
part of the state. They are rs follows;
/. The testing of new fodder plants
to see if they are adapted to our soil
and climate.
a. Alfalfa, species of clover, re-
quires land we'll drained, and from
which the snow does not blow off in
the winter; sown broadcast, used for
hay or green feed; does not die out
like ordinary clover.
b. Cow pea sown in drills, and cul-
tivated like beans, maks very heavy
growth of excellent fodder; used only
for green feed can be grown on poor,
weedy soil, but does best on soil
naturally rich in potash.
c, Horse beans, sown broadcast
with barley or oats that are to be cut
for hay, to increase the nutritiousness
of the fodder.
=. Tests with fertilizers. The work
with fertilizers will be confined to a
single line of inquiry, namely to as
certain whether fodder plants can use
phosphoric acid when it is supplied in
the cheap form of undissolved phos-
phate rock or undissolved bone black.
These experiments will be tried on
permanent grass land only as it will
take two or more years to determine
how much benefit has been received
from the fertilizer. The phosphate
will be supplied.
u. In the form of fine ground
south Carolina rock.
B.. In the form of fine ground bone
black.
c. These two forms mixed with the
addition of plaster.
The trials with new fodder plants
viii be on plots Of one-fourth of an
lcre. The fertilizers trial on plots Of
,ne-tenth of an acre with several I'M
MANFRED plots for comparison. The
experiment station will furnish the
eed and the fertilizers free of cost,
,nly STIMULATING that whoever takes
hem shall agree to report to the sta
ton the results of the trial.
All who are willing to try any of
-hese experiments will please send in
heir names and signify which eXper-
jments they desire to make. Full di-
ections will be sent with each pack
lge of seed or fertilizer.

1t having come to the knowledge of

sundry places in New York and along
the bordering line of New York and
Vermont, you are therefore directed
to seize and quarantine at the ex-

which are brought to this state from
either of the above states after this

your judgment are intended for i'm
mediate slaughter and are not being
surreptitiously moved for other pur-
poses, you will allow to pass from
either Watertown or Brighton to the

Go It boy, strike out for glory,
Aping folly's funi
When you're old, and wise, and hoary,
Blame yonr fathers son.
Coquette, captivating lovers,
Seems so full of glee;
Now ON pleasures wing she hovers,
What's the fruit to be3
Thieves and liars, satisfaction,
Now, a little get;
ON, beyond, perhaps destruction
In the DEVILS net,
What exciting pleasures, nightly,
Gambling halls evolve;
Yet, the fruit, when valued rightly,
Death, alone, can solve,
Drunkards love their beer and whisky
Best of all below;
Jolly times he'll have, but risky,
For the end is woe.
Fashions, captivating fancy,
Often prove curse;
Sort of trick, or nccromancy,
Good to drain the purse.
Riches, too, monopolizing,
Overpowers the soul;
Higher joys we're sacrificing,
Loosing on the whole.
So the world is full of scheming
After transient gloss,
Little caring, little dreaming
OF the gain or loss.
